Kong Tianxing was furious! "Ming Zhitian! You deserve to die! Capture him alive!"
Tian Ranmei and Kuanglang immediately replied, "Understood!"
Looking at the person before her, Hai Mianyi felt he looked more and more familiar. "How can this person be so much like the masked man I met at Gugu Yishan? Could they be the same person?"
Thinking of the man who had saved her life multiple times, Hai Mianyi's mind was now filled with thoughts of Ming Zhitian.
Tian Ranmei, leading dozens of elites from the Angel Legion, was about to make a move. Ming Zhitian's lips curved into a slight smile. "Capture me? Can you even move?"
The sun blazed in the sky, and suddenly, a misty rain began to fall...
Kong Chang muttered to himself, "Not good!"
He was utterly shocked. "How is this possible!"
Tian Ranlin staggered slightly. "The Valley of Desolation? How did he possibly do it? ... I have ultimately lost."
Almost everyone among the thousands present was unable to move, their acupoints sealed by the raindrops. Ming Zhitian was not an ordinary cultivator of the Valley of Desolation like Wang Tian, but one in the later stages of the Valley of Desolation!
Except for a few elders of the noble families and the patriarchs, who were in the late Heaven's Severing stage and were not greatly affected, everyone else, including those below the middle Heaven's Severing stage, were sealed by the rain and could not budge an inch.
As time slowly passed, even the few in the late Heaven's Severing stage found themselves rooted to the spot, their bodies feeling as if they bore some immense weight, pressing their legs down as if they had turned to stone.
Kong Tianxing's face gradually contorted in ferocity. "Ming Zhitian, you're still not dead?"
Ming Zhitian smiled faintly. "You threw me into the Ten Thousand Feet Abyss, and I still didn't die. Are you disappointed?"
Kong Tianxing glared at him. "Disappointed? I wish I could throw you into the Ten Thousand Feet Abyss again!"
Ming Zhitian shook his head. "But you no longer have the opportunity."
Kong Tianxing knew very well that he was now in the Valley of Desolation, at the apex of the martial artist hierarchy, yet he was not afraid.
Kong Tianxing roared to the sky, "Ahhh! ... Why?! I only wanted to fulfill my childhood dream, what was wrong with that? Tell me!"
Ming Zhitian laughed. He shook his head. "Absurd. You clearly know you were wrong, yet you refuse to admit it. But it's no wonder; who would openly admit they were wrong? Even if they were wrong, they would say they weren't.
However, since you insist I tell you clearly and definitively where you went wrong, I am happy to oblige.
You, as the commander of the Angel Legion of the Iron Horse Empire, and the protector of the Celestial Sphere, Kong Chang! You abused your authority, disregarding the lives and deaths of hundreds of billions of creatures of all races on the entire world, attempting to deceive the world and stubbornly using nuclear weapons to try and strip the entire Celestial Sphere in two.
At that time, the atmosphere would dissipate, the earth would crack, mountains would collapse, and seas would surge. The entire continent of the Celestial Sphere would become a watery grave, all at the hands of you, Kong Tianxing alone, all to realize your childhood ambition of turning the world into an underwater city. At this moment, should you not all awaken?"
As he finished speaking, a clamor erupted among the crowd! ...
"What?! Were these nuclear weapons really meant to split the Celestial Sphere in two?!"
"We were all deceived by Kong Chang! So this was his ambition. To think we even came here to die."
"An underwater city? If we lived underwater permanently, let alone whether our skin and respiratory system could handle it, how would we get our food? Would we eat, drink, sleep, and defecate in the water? It's too terrifying..."
Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, and thousands of eyes were staring at him with ill intentions, Kong Tianxing felt a chill down his spine and quickly twisted the truth. "Everyone, calm down! Don't listen to his nonsense!
I, as the commander of the Angel Legion and the protector of the Celestial Sphere, Kong Chang, swear on my honor that I, Kong Tianxing, would never do what he says to harm you all.
So listen to me, we have more people, why should we fear his Valley of Desolation?! If you help me capture this villain, I, Kong Tianxing, swear that every one of you present will receive a commendation from me, Kong Chang, and every family will receive a reward of five million yuan!"
